Hoodoos take millions of years to form and stand 5 to 7 metres tall. Each hoodoo is a sandstone pillar resting on a thick base of shale that is capped by a large stone. Hoodoos are very fragile and can erode completely if their capstone is dislodged (in other words, no climbing allowed). The protected Hoodoos site is a guaranteed spot to see Hoodoos but smaller versions of these sandstone giants can be found all over the Badlands.

It is a rare that I don't remember exactly where I was when I see a photo that I have taken but I don't remember the details for this shot. I guess I was totally blown away by the stunning scenery.
We must have been on the highway heading south from Canmore, near Banff, Alberta to Waterton, Alberta. The Rocky Mountains to the west and rich agricultural land in the foreground.
The stunning Canadian Rocky Mountains immediately give way to farming and ranching in south western Alberta. This photo reminds me of the emblem of Alberta which depicts a blue sky, snow capped mountains and a wheat field. This photo is taken just north of Waterton Lakes National Park.

Always a wonderful attraction to visit but the falls are not as large as they were several years ago before the adverse weather conditions and landslides.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR VISITS, COMMENTS, AWARDS AND FOR ANY INVITES.
Shot taken of Sunwapta Falls along the Icefields Parkway in Alberta Canada. It was a rainy day but the falls still looked very impressive and beautiful!
Peyto Lake is such a glorious view, even on smokey days such as this one. The color of the lake is caused by glacier run-off and minerals. It is located right off the Icefields Parkway in Alberta, Canada.
I tried a little panorama editing in Lightroom.
Also known as Wainwright bridge. Beautiful quiet area in smokey Alberta.
I followed this fella for nearly a mile along the highway, as it was digging for roots of some type of plant.
